Thank you all for your replies to this, I will sit down and have a think and work out where best to go from here. I really appreciate the time you've all taken to respond to me with my query, educating and assisting me along the way. Much appreciated!

Tbh i didn't realise the size of the wheels, i initially thought they were 16" (as per the dealers information) and it's only when i looked at getting a spare wheel for the car (as I'm not sold on the idea of the breakdown kits), i realised they were 17". This is very much me jumping straight into the deep end in terms of cars (first car etc.) - so I'm doing my best to understand/download as much information as possible when people are taking the time out to reply/assist with my queries. In regards to the difference with 16" vs 17" am i right in understanding the larger the wheel/tyre the easier the handling but as you've mentioned, at the cost of a less comfortable ride?

Ahh apologies about that! Erm on the tyre it says 215/40R17. Does that help at all? Sorry, I'm trying to work this out so apologies if the answers I give aren't the most helpful....

Good morning, I have a Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo Estate (2019) and after some investigating, realised that the specifications I was given about the car's tyres was in fact incorrect. I'd like to get a spare wheel (of the same size) and wasn't sure about the best way to come across one. Ebay? The tyres on the car are these, but I'd also like to double check it will actually fit in the boot? Or would it make more sense getting a 16" wheel and tyre as a spare? TIA

Hi, is this still available? I'd be interested in them both. Thanks

Hey, are you still able to help with this? Have software version 8740. Happy to send email address via PM. Thanks

Thank you very much for replying and apologies for taking so long to come back to you. In the end I didn't move forward with purchasing this car, the dealership were a PITA in regards to moving forwards with the purchase/questions asked etc. I looked around and managed to come across a 2019 Fabia Estate Monte Carlo at a pretty good price so went with that instead. Full service history, and was from an approved dealership so 12 month warranty etc vs the 3 months the other dealership were offering. So now to trawl this website and find out as much as I can about everything. Thank you again for your advice, it definitely helped with my next steps regarding this car!

This is all being said with me being quite a noob about cars so if anything i ask/say sounds confused...it's because I probably am - but hey there's only one way to learn right? The first MOT says: Offside Rear Seat belt damaged (7.1.2 (b) (i)) Tested the next day and passed. I did a car history check with TotalCarCheck and it hasn't come up with anything classed as an issue? And please don't worry about being cynical, I literally am assuming the worse when it comes to anything car related to do with dealerships. The reason I think it's been sitting for a while is because the road tax expired in March this year... In regards to service history I have the following attachments and @Rooted this may answer help your previous questions re:servicing+mileage. Due to the mileage irregularity increase I'm wondering if this was ex lease vehicle... Thank in advance for your help!

Hey everyone, I'm currently looking at purchasing a 2019 Fabia Estate. It has about 38k mileage so far. MOT check, 1st MOT failed for seat belt damage (was retested and passed the next day) and it's passed the most recent one but there was an advisory about a EPC warning light. Now the car seemed fine in a test drive and also looks like it hasn't been used in a long time - road tax expired earlier this year, so I reckon it's been sitting in this dealership for a while. It's the 110bhp version fwiw. Should i be concerned about the EPC warning light? The salesperson said it was a sensor tripping from the car not really being used - but I'm not sure how much I buy that tbh. Any advice welcomed - is this a normal thing if a car hasn't been used much and battery is low etc? Or should I run for the hills? TIA
